TheSubscribe2 plugin is designed to only work from with a page. The code pasted below will work however the user will get no direct feedback upon submitting their email address. Anyone can feel free to tinker to get this aspect working.
Copy the code below into a suitably named file (s2widget.php) and upload this to your widgets directory then use in the normal widget way.
